@staff, I don’t know how, but this needs to be fixed desperately. I liked/hearted this post about millennials using libraries, and these were posts you suggested based on my like.
Note the swastika.
You suggested “OTHER EXCELLENT POSTS” that included an image of a swastika. You’re saying it’s excellent.
I’ve seen posts going around about how your site isn’t doing anything to dissuade white supremacists, but I don’t have a lot of notoriety and am picky about who I follow, so it’s not something I’d experienced personally.
But those people, let run free, have made it so your algorithm literally suggested I check out a swastika post. I’m blatantly and clearly against everything that symbol stands for, as should you.
You need to f i x t h i s!!
real quick: i clicked that post and it’s about how the hindu symbol and nazi symbol are different and how the hindu symbol should be respected, written by a hindu person
so, that might be why it was suggested for you
Good to know. Unfortunate they didn’t decide to have the Hindi symbol first, but who am I to say? Haha. I have no idea either how the algorithm works. A mutual of mine, @inthroughthesunroof, said they’ve run into similar themselves. I wonder if it’s the same post.
I really didn’t want to click on it myself and give it more traffic at the time
